Machado: Narges Mohammadi's life in danger, demands immediate release

From Caracas, the voice of opposition leader María Corina Machado rings out, highlighting the dire situation of Narges Mohammadi, the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize laureate currently imprisoned in Iran. Machado, herself a prominent figure in Venezuela's struggle for democracy, drew a parallel between Mohammadi's plight and the broader fight for freedom and human rights globally.

Narges is a brave and inspiring Iranian who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2023 and was violently detained on December 12 last year. For years, she has been persecuted for her tireless work for a free and democratic society, and today her family fears for her serious health condition in prison.

Machado's statement, amplified through social media, detailed Mohammadi's deteriorating health and the fears of her family that her condition in a Zanjan prison, where she was transferred, is a deliberate attempt to silence her. The Venezuelan opposition leader emphasized that Mohammadi, recognized for her tireless advocacy for a free and democratic society, is facing grave danger.

Narges Mohammadi's life is in danger and she must be released immediately!

This call for international intervention underscores a shared commitment to human rights that transcends borders. For many in Venezuela, Machado's strong stance serves as a reminder of the importance of standing in solidarity with those who are oppressed, regardless of their nationality. The situation of Narges Mohammadi, a symbol of resistance, resonates deeply with those who understand the cost of fighting for fundamental freedoms, a struggle that continues to be a central theme in Venezuela's own political landscape.

They fear it could be a plan to let her die in prison. Despite the efforts of her lawyers and family, the Zanjan authorities deny any responsibility, claiming the Ministry of Intelligence has forced them to keep her in these conditions.
